This book didn’t pick up until the end. I had a hard time getting through the first half of the book honestly. I had to adapt to the writing style as it felt like it was written the way someone would talk or think (i.e. a lot of run on sentences and jumbled thoughts). I also felt like the story read somewhat juvenile. It’s supposed to be about young adults but it comes off like the MCs are teenagers. The MCs relationships are also very toxic. To the point that you can get annoyed reading about it after awhile. This book series is so hyped up. I hope it gets better.
